Default mopar paint jobs

Whats the deal with the OE paint on the hood and tops of 90s model dodges? Both mine and my dads 2500s are peeling. The guy at the body shop says its something in the metal and that if he paints it with the OE hood he wont guarantee the paint to not start doing the same thing. He says he can stand behind it with a replacement hood though. I was just wondering if anybody has an idea of whats going on...

dodge puts a lot of galvinized particles in the chemical makeup of their metal to try and prevent rusting untill warranty is up, mines is that drift wood silver and i had no problems with the paint untill my sister in law crawled up on the hood to paint just married on the windshield while wearing nylons, rite after i had just told everybody to not crawl on my truck w/ anything soon after with the clearcoat scratched paint went to crap

Mine is factory red with an aftermarket silver stripe on the rockers. The stripe is fine but the roof is going fast and the hood probably won't make it past the summer at the rate it's going. I love cummins and dana and hate mopar...

it was an issue with the primer those years. my truck was black and i didn't have an issue with it for some odd reason and haven't yet since i re-painted it. i have seen the emerald green and silver and white trucks peel the most. if the paint guy sands it to the metal, preps it with a self etching primer, then seals it then paints then there shouldn't be an issue..... but buying a new hood will more than likely be cheaper.....

To add a little bit to that. All the big three had problems with that in the late 80s and early 90s. They went to an electrostatic primer which was much better at corrosion protection than it was at adhesion. As a result, the paint didn't stick. I painted several cars from that era, and we were able to take the paint off with a razor blade in sheets sometimes bigger than a foot square. I had two Fords, both a charcoal color that peeled.
The only way to fix it is like Benjamin said.. take it to the bare metal, prep it properly and then repaint it.

ya i remember that the silver blazers and some full size Chevy trucks had that problem, and some of the late 80's early 90's F series trucks too.... IIRC there was some sort of recall on that for the Chevy's wasn't there?
